British nation would, of course, welcome with en-
thusiaSm such a charming addition to its stock Of

A Grief-Stricken Wife.


SHE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE AT HER DYING HUSBANDS
BED.
Mrs. Charles Kiel, OF 1856 Congress avenue, New
Haven, Conn, made a desperate and dramatic at
tempt at suicide Saturday night. Her husband,
who has been in business for many years, has been
very sick for some time with heart disease, and
his physician does not think he can recover.
When MIS- Kiel ascertained that her husband
would die, she became almost frantic with grief
and despair, and she determined TO commit suicide.
About $3.50 O'Clock Saturday afternoon she dis
solved the heads OF a handful OF sulphur matches
in teacup full OF brandy, and then drank IL.
This poison did not work quickly enough
to suit her, so She procured an Orui-
nary pairing knife and then went
into the room where her husband lay suffering.
She knelt down at the head or the bed, put one
arm around the sick mans neck, and then with
her right hand she commenced TO hack at her
throat with the knife. which, however, was too
blunt to intlict anything but superficial wounds
couple OF her ReighDOrS were attracted TO the
apartments by her means, and they took the
knife away from her. Then she commenced to
sink into StupOr from the effects OF the poison,
and Dr. Reilly was sent for. He administered anti
dOtes and then took the woman TO the hospital
The chances are against her recovery. She still
remains in the stupOr. A bottle containing NOR
phine and bromide was In her husbands room,
and 1t Is thought very probable that Mrs. KEEL also
took some OF this. ShetS fifty-S1X years old

Filling Holes in Woodwork.

A correspondent of mechanical
paper who has evidently had eXper-
fence in a cabinet-making shop, rec
ommends sawdust or raspings of hard
and soft wood for filling the cracks
and worm holes in old furniture. I
learned their value, he says, III my
younger days from the oriental car
penters. You should sift them through
wire guaze. Put each separately in a
box with label and you are always
ready for sudden job. | have
another box for bits of every kind of
wood. For a crack, worm-eaten
hole, or deep flaw, prepare the proper
dust, by the admixture of brickdust in
flour (also kept ready, or whiting or
ocher, or any required tint. Then
take well-cooked glue, and on house
plate stir it in slowly while hot, with
sufficient powder for your work. Dab
the hole or crack with your glue brush,
then with putty knife stir about the
mixture on the plate, taking care you
have the color. When sure on this
point. take some of the cement on the
end of the knife and insert it in the
desired place. Then use as much
pressure as you possibly can with the

the spot. When thoroughly dry, sand

Where weevil and wood worms have
devoured the furniture, cautiously cut
out the part till sound place is
reached. Poison the wood with a
solution of sulphate of copper injected
into the hollow. Let it dry. Cut an
angular piece of same wood from your
board, and with sharp chisel make
a suitable aperture for its reception.
Fix it with glue When thoroughly
dry, work with carving tools or rasp
and glass, scraping till the new bit of
work exactly matches the old.
